Meeting Date: April 8, 2025
Staff Report No. 25-CDD-054
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council REQUEST FOR A ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT (TA 25-01), PERTAINING TO THE

REGULATION OF TEMPORARY USES AND EVENTS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY, AMENDING HERMOSA BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE (HBMC): 1) CHAPTER 17.04 REGARDING DEFINITIONS; 2) CHAPTER 17.28 REGARDING M-1 LIGHT MANUFACTURING ZONE; AND 3) CHAPTER 17.42 REGARDING GENERAL PROVISIONS, CONDITIONS AND EXCEPTIONAL USES.

CEQA: The project qualified for a Categorical Exemption per Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines.
(Planning Manager Alexis Oropeza)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Conduct a public hearing to consider amendments to Hermosa Beach Municipal Code pertaining to temporary use and temporary events;

2. Determine whether the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act; and

3. Introduce by title only and waive first reading of an Ordinance of the City of Hermosa Beach, California, approving Zoning Text Amendment (25-01) (Attachment 1).

Executive Summary:

Temporary uses and temporary events are designed to allow short-term activities and development that may not comply with all development standards of a land use zone. In certain situations, these temporary uses and events can facilitate redevelopment and promote local businesses. Specific standards are established for these temporary activities to ensure public health, safety, and general welfare.

On February 18, 2025, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and recommended City Council approval of a zone text amendment pertaining to Temporary Uses and Temporary Events (TA 25-01). The Planning Commission also recommended City Council consider amending the fee schedule to allow a partial refund for permits that are denied.

Background:

On November 12, 2024, the City Council directed staff to proceed with a focused zoning text amendment for temporary minor special events in response to public requests.

On December 16, 2024, the Planning Commission held a study session on temporary uses and events and directed staff to address: 1) the quantity of minor special events allowed, 2) provisions for allowing modifications or additional dates; 3) exempting ancillary uses from a temporary minor special event permit; and 4) allowing appropriate parking flexibility.

On February 18, 2025, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing, considered public testimony and recommended City Council approve a Zone Text Amendment with several additional amendments. The Planning Commission also recommended City Council amend the fee schedule to allow for a partial refund of fees in cases where a permit is denied. The following table provides an overview of past discussions and amendments to the regulations pertaining to temporary uses and temporary events.

of a Zone Text Amendment pertaining to Temporary Uses
and Temporary Events.

Discussion:

The City recognizes that short-term uses and event activities on private property may be beneficial for property redevelopment and to support local businesses. While these temporary activities may not completely adhere to all zoning standards, temporary operating standards and regulations are established to control and minimize impacts.

Temporary uses and temporary event regulations are contained in Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Chapter 17.42 pertaining to General Provisions, Conditions, and Exceptional Uses and are permitted as Administrative Permits in accordance with HBMC Chapter 17.55 (Attachment 2). Administrative permits are administered by staff and do not require a public hearing or public notification. The regulations reference various zoning districts. A zoning map is included for reference as Attachment 3.

There are currently five separate sections within HBMC Chapter 17.42 of the code addressing temporary activities. Staff recommends merging all temporary uses and event into a single section broadly titled as “Temporary Uses and Minor Special Events.” This proposed change would simplify the code and help users of the zoning code. The following discussion provides a summary of the new section and discusses significant changes from the current regulations (Attachment 4).

TEMPORARY USES
This new section introduces various short-term uses that may be permitted with the approval of an Administrative Permit. Generally, these temporary uses are designed to support the redevelopment of a site and require approval to ensure that any impacts are managed and the duration is limited. The following temporary uses are proposed:
 Construction yard, located off-site from the location where construction is occurring.
 Mobile homes as temporary residences with a valid building permit for a new single-family home.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 9
o Maximum duration of two years
 Storage containers in combination with a building permit for work off-site.  Work trailers for employees of a business with a current building permit.  Other similar uses as determined by the Community Development Director.

Temporary Event Exemptions
An exemption section was added to clarify situations where a use would require an alternative City permit. For example, garage sales on residential properties within commercial zones require a permit in accordance with Chapter 5.44 of the Municipal Code and on-site construction yards and temporary real estate offices would be allowed with a valid building permit instead of requiring an Administrative Permit for a temporary use.

TEMPORARY EVENTS
This section groups the four event types: 1) Limited Events, 2) Temporary Minor Special Events, 3) Seasonal Sale Lots, and 4) Outdoor Sales into a single section. Temporary events allow for the activation of property, both indoors and outdoors, that may not typically be permitted by the underlying zone and may not comply with all development standards of the zone.

Limited Events, applicable to the Cypress District—M-1 Zone The limited events permit was designed for indoor activities that showcase the art or goods produced on site. These standards were first added to the Zoning Code in 2020.

The Planning Commission’s recommend modifications would make the regulations of the events more flexible. The following summarizes the recommended operating standards for a limited event:
 Events are limited to the interior of the building. Any outdoor event would be required to obtain a Temporary Minor Special Event.
 Events have a maximum duration of five hours. This is an increase from the current three-hour limit for Limited Events.
 Limited Events may occur up to three times per month, with no more than two events in a seven-day period.
 Amplified sound would be permitted in accordance with Noise Ordinance. Under the current code amplified sound is not permitted as part of a Limited Event.  Alcohol sale, service, and consumption would now be allowed with a license from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control during an event. Under the current code alcohol sale and service is not permitted as part of a Limited Event.  A parking plan is no longer required for a Limited Temporary Event.  Temporary Minor Special Events dates may be restricted at the discretion of the Police Chief to ensure there are adequate resources to maintain public safety. In addition, events would be automatically prohibited on the following celebrations

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 9
and holidays: St. Patrick’s Day, Cinco De Mayo, Memorial Day weekend, Fourth of July, and Labor Day weekend dates due to history of increase in calls for service.

The Planning Commission directed staff to review if there is a difference in impacts on police resources when the holiday occurs during mid-week. Upon review it was confirmed that regardless of the day of the week there is an overall increase in calls for service on the designated days.

The amendments proposed would provide greater flexibility to the programming of limited events but remain consistent with its original intent for lower-intensity, indoor-only events.

Temporary Minor Special Events
The temporary minor special event category has the broadest applicability of the temporary events. Temporary minor special events allow for a variety of public assembly and entertainment such as concerts, festivals, sports, cultural, philanthropic and/or educational events, and other commercial events deemed similar by the Community Development Director.

The Planning Commission revised the standards by setting a framework to allow a total of 36 days for events, a maximum of 18 events, within a 12-month period along with following additional parameters to ensure the temporary uses minimize impacts on adjacent residential uses. The following summarizes the standard related to event frequency:
 A maximum of 36 days for events (indoors or outdoors) with a maximum of 18 events, within any 12-month period. The current code restricts outdoor events to four per year, with a maximum of seven days each.
 A maximum of two events per month.
 No more than three consecutive days for any event.
 No less than five days between events.

The other provisions and standards under which a temporary minor special event must be operated include the following:

 An allowance for event dates to be amended as a result of inclement weather or additional dates added Director’s approval.
 An allowance for temporary sanitation facilities was added.  Clarification that temporary signs associated with an event may be permitted in accordance with the sign ordinance and need not require a separate application and fee.
 Temporary Minor Special Events dates may be restricted at the discretion of the Police Chief to ensure there are adequate resources to maintain public safety. In addition, events would be automatically prohibited on the following celebrations and holidays: St. Patrick’s Day, Cinco De Mayo, Memorial Day weekend, Fourth of

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 6 of 9
July, and Labor Day weekend dates due to history of increase in calls for service.

The Planning Commission directed staff to review if there is a difference in impacts on police resources when the holiday occurs during mid-week. Upon review it was confirmed that regardless of the day of the week there is an overall increase in calls for service on the designated days.
 Maintains a requirement that any deviation from the specified standards requires a Conditional Use Permit.
 Temporary events often occur within parking lots temporarily displacing the onsite parking. Depending on the size of the parking lot and size of the result this can result in spillover impacts into surrounding neighborhood and potentially impact surrounding neighborhoods. In consideration of those concerns and the direction from the Planning Commission, the parking requirement for parking was revised to allow parking to be displaced based on the size of the parking lot as follows:
a. All existing accessible parking must be maintained on-site in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act;
b. In parking lots with five or fewer spaces, no additional parking shall be required, provided that alternative modes of transit (such as biking, walking, ride-share, etc.) are prominently promoted as part of any event advertising;
c. In a parking lot with six or more parking spaces, the displacement of more than five spaces shall be off-set by implementing a temporary parking demand management plan. This plan is subject to the review and approval of the Community Development Director. The plan may include private off-site parking (with the property owner's authorization and off-set hours), valet parking, shared parking, bicycle parking, ride-sharing options, and shuttle services; and
d. Based on the characteristics and type of event the Community Development Director may require additional parking to address the anticipated demand generated from an event in any sized parking lot.

Outdoor Sales and Seasonal Sale Lots
Allowances for outdoor sales events and seasonal sale lots are existing event types that are proposed to be retained. Minor changes were made to clarify that conditions of approval may be added to any permit along with internal references to other related sections of the code.

Temporary Event Exemptions
To assist users of the code, an exemption from temporary minor special events section was added to clarify where an event does not require a permit or is covered under a different permit type. An exemption for incidental business uses was added. This exemption would delineate that uses such as party games, book signings, and other

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 7 of 9
similar activities are not deemed events. Incidental uses are complimentary to a business, do not alter the intensity of the use, and do authorize a use not permitted in the zone or requiring a discretionary approval (CUP).

Finally, the Planning Commission recommended City Council consider updating the fee schedule to provide a reduce fee for date changes and amending the fees to allow a partial refund of fees when an application for temporary use or a temporary event is denied. If the City Council desires to consider this change, it may choose to direct staff to agendize the matter at a future meeting or provide direction to staff as it considers the updates to the fee schedule under the separate agenda item.

General Plan Consistency:

PLAN Hermosa, the City’s General Plan, was adopted by the City Council in August 2017.

The proposed zoning code amendments pertaining to temporary uses and temporary events align with PLAN Hermosa goals and policies listed below.

Governance Element
Goal 5. Small Beach town Character is reflected throughout Hermosa Beach.

Policies:
 5.1 Residential and commercial compatibility. Provide a balance between residential and commercial uses and strive to ensure their compatibility.  5.3 Clear regulations. Establish clear, unambiguous regulations and policies to clearly communicate the City’s expectations for new development.

The proposed Temporary Use and Temporary Event regulations consolidate temporary activity regulations into a single section. The regulation adds flexibility while maintaining limitations regarding event duration, frequency, hours, entertainment and alcohol to ensure compatibility between residential and commercial uses.

Land Use and Design Element
Goal 1. Create a sustainable urban form and land use patterns that support a robust economy and high quality of life for residents.

Policies:
 1.4 Diverse commercial areas. Promote the development of diversified and unique commercial districts with locally owned businesses and job- or revenuegenerating uses.  1.5 Balance resident and visitor needs. Ensure land uses and businesses provide for the needs of residents as well as visitors.  1.7 Compatibility of uses. Ensure the placement of new uses does not create or exacerbate nuisances between different types of land uses.  1.8 Respond to unique characteristics. Enhance the unique character and identity of the city’s neighborhoods, districts and corridors through land use and

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 8 of 9
design decisions. Allow policies and programs to be focused on each unique character area of the city.

To support a strong economy, the temporary event regulations would be updated to allow for a greater number of temporary minor special events along with regulations and procedures to ensure compatibility between uses.

Goal 3. A series of unique, destination-oriented districts throughout Hermosa Beach.

Policy:
 3.1 Unique districts. Encourage the development of local and city-wide districts and centers that address different community needs and market sectors and complement surrounding neighborhoods.

The draft regulation recognizes the uniqueness of the district within the city and maintains a Limited Event permit specific to the Cypress District within the M-1 Zone.

Goal 5. Scenic vistas, viewpoints, and resources are maintained or enhanced.

Policy:
 5.7 Light pollution. Preserve skyward nighttime views and lessen glare by minimizing lighting levels along the shoreline.

The draft regulation aims to provide flexibility and allowances for temporary events.

However, consistent with the general plan policy, strobe lights have not been included as an allowable feature for these events, as they would contribute to light pollution, even if temporarily.

Goal 11. A proud and visible identity as an arts and cultural community.

Policy:
 11.6 Temporary Installations. Support ongoing temporary artwork installations and performance-based arts events in areas with strong pedestrian and vehicular traffic.

Temporary events can serve to promote art-related activities within the city. The draft regulations allow for increased flexibility in organizing events, accompanied by reasonable regulations and procedures to ensure compatibility between different uses.

Environmental Determination:

The proposed zone text amendment is a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and qualifies for an exemption from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption) of the State CEQA Guidelines (Chapter 3 of Division 6 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations). The activity is covered by the Common Sense Exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 9 of 9
for causing a significant effect on the environment. There is no possibility that the proposed change to the zoning code may have a significant effect on the environment, therefore the activity is not subject to CEQA. No special circumstances exist that the proposed change would create a significant adverse effect on the environment (i.e. no sensitive species or habitats, no hazardous sites, no scenic highways, no historic resources, etc.).

Public Notification:

For the current agenda item, a notice was published in the Daily Breeze on March 15, 2025. On March 13, 2025, notices were posted at City Hall, the Library, and Community Resources. No public comments were received in response to the notice at the time the report was written. However, the public comments submitted to the Planning Commission have been included in Attachment 5.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no anticipated fiscal impact from the adoption of the zone text amendment.

Public Comment – Support for Agenda Item 16.a.

Date Mon 4/7/2025 3:14 PM
To City Clerk <[email protected]>
You don't often get email from [email protected]. Learn why this is important Dear Mayor and Council Members,
I live in Hermosa Beach and often go to events in the Cypress Arts District and downtown. I’m writing because I saw Agenda Item 16.a. on the calendar, and I wanted to share my support for updating the Temporary Events zoning rules. I urge the City Council to approve the recommendations made by the Planning Commission.

Events like these are a big part of what makes Hermosa feel like home. My son is a musician, and my daughter is an artist. This is the kind of area a family of creatives could only hope for, and it didn't exist where we lived before moving to Hermosa.

Not long ago, the Mira Costa High School Band Boosters held a fundraiser in the area, and it was one of those nights that felt so special. We were surrounded by music and art, and all the band parents and alumni kept saying how much they loved the vibe. It gave us a chance to connect and celebrate together, and it reminded me how important it is to have spaces and events like this in our town.

Thanks for continuing to support events that build community and keep Hermosa’s creative spirit going strong.

Sincerely,
Amy Limas
Hermosa Beach Resident & Mira Costa Bands Board Member

Thank you
E-Comment:

I oppose the Planning Commission's suggestion to City Council that the use of Temporary Event Permits and Special Event Permits be expanded in any way. The Studio/Rule No. 9 applied for a business permit as a “Digital Capturing Facility and Studio.” Yet, event rentals, large gatherings, (not micro events), sale of alcohol (without ABC permits), and a patio which is described as “cannabis friendly” are currently operating. No business in Downtown Hermosa with a CUP would be allowed to sell alcohol and smoke pot without code enforcement shutting them down.

There is no space available to create an Arts Zone, within Hermosa’s light Industrial zone. There are no available warehouses so this new change will currently help only one business. There have been no parking studies or standard requirements done for the large assembly of people that The Studio attracts.

Besides, the M1 zone prohibits assembly of people. Code enforcement has ignored the sale of alcohol and smoking of cannabis. This district does not deserve preferential treatment and the ability to compete with Hermosa’s downtown businesses while paying low rent. On the other hand, Hermosa’s downtown commercial district may benefit from loosening of regulations. In conclusion, this rule change should not benefit one business, who has violated State and City government regulations with a workaround and easing of the extra temporary event permit or special event permit. PLEASE OPPOSE! --
Andrea Jacobsson

You don't often get email from [email protected]. Learn why this is important Dear City Council Members,
I’m writing as an artist regarding the M-1 Arts District to express support for Agenda Item

16.a. and the proposed updates to the Temporary Event rules. I strongly urge the Council to approve the Planning Commission’s recommendations.

Our district is home to a vibrant creative community, and small events are critical to local business models, community engagement, and economic sustainability. The current and proposed restrictions are still too limiting for the way creative businesses operate today.

We urge you to support a flexible, business-friendly approach that lets us thrive while maintaining safety and community standards.

The events here are absolutely the light and love and beating heart of the Hermosa Beach community.  Every single person I've met there appreciates the warm and accepting vibe, and they feel energized having spent time there.  There is no place as friendly and special in Los Angeles County as Hermosa Beach, and I strongly encourage the growth of local businesses.

I live in Downtown Los Angeles but regularly make the drive to Hermosa to attend shows in the Arts District. I have also produced two shows featuring live music and art. You have an incredibly supportive and creative community that draws visitors and buisness from all over the greater Los Angeles area. However, while planning my shows I have experienced how limiting the current restrictions are to creative businesses.

Further restrictions would deter people from participating and supporting Hermosa's growing creative community and decrease revenue from the small businesses who operate in the district.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 1 of 5
Meeting Date: April 8, 2025
Staff Report No. 25-CR-034
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council REVIEW OF DAY AT THE BEACH EVENTS’ REQUEST FOR A NEW AGREEMENT FOR THE HERMOSA BEACH OPEN IN 2025 THROUGH 2027
CEQA: Review of Day at the Beach Events’ request for a new agreement would be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15304. This would have negligible or no permanent effect on the environment.
(Community Resources Director Lisa Nichols)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Receive and file the informational report of the comparing the terms of the approved Long-term Agreement (LTA) with Day at the Beach Events (DATBE) for the Hermosa Beach Open (HBO) from 2025 through 2027 with those of an alternative agreement structure requested by DATBE, in which the City would serve as the event owner; and

2. Provide direction to staff on next steps.

Executive Summary:

On February 25, 2025, City Council approved a standard Long-term Agreement (LTA) with DATBE for HBO through 2027. Subsequently, DATBE requested the City consider serving as the owner of the event, with DATBE as the producer. This report compares two potential agreement structures with Day at the Beach Events (DATBE) for the Hermosa Beach Open (HBO) tournament from 2025–2027. It outlines the distinctions between the approved LTA and the proposed event ownership structure, highlights key considerations, and seeks Council direction.

Background:

On September 10, 2024, the City Council authorized staff to initiate negotiations with DATBE for an LTA covering the HBO from 2025 through 2027. The resulting agreement was approved on February 25, 2025.

Subsequently, DATBE requested that the City consider owning the event while DATBE assumes the role of producer. On March 11, 2025, Councilmember Jackson, with Councilmember Detoy concurring, requested staff return with a future agenda item outlining the differences between the LTA and the proposed City-ownership model.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 5
Past Council Actions
Meeting Date Description
September 10, 2024 City Council approved the commencement of LTA negotiations with DATBE for the HBO Open in 2025 through 2027.

February 25, 2025 City Council approved an LTA with DATBE for the HBO Open in 2025 through 2027.

Discussion:

The Community Resources Department oversees special events on public property. The Special Events Policy Guide (Attachment 1) serves as a comprehensive document for event producers with information on the review and approval process, applicable fees, policies, and Hermosa Beach Municipal Code chapters and sections pertaining to special events.

The Special Events Policy Guide outlines the LTA Program, which allows organizations that meet the eligibility requirements to apply for an LTA to solidify its event dates for up to three years and eliminates the need for organizations to submit a special event application each year and participate in the annual review and approval process by the Parks, Recreation, and Community Resources Advisory Commission and City Council.

Long-Term Agreement Overview
LTAs provides up to three years of event approval, allowing producers to hold its event on public property. Under this model:
 The event producer controls event planning, staffing, marketing, and sponsorships.
 The City oversees permitting, safety, and operational compliance (e.g., site plans, traffic plans, ADA access, emergency response, waste management).  The City ensures any additional required permits are secured such as an Amplified Sound Permit; Film/Still Photo Permit; County of Los Angeles Fire Department Permit; or Building and Safety Permit.

City-Owned Event Model
Under a City-ownership event model:
 The City controls the event format, marketing, staffing, and sponsorship.  Examples include the Surfers Walk of Fame, Hermosa Beach Concert Series, Veterans Day Ceremony, and Sand Snowman Contest.

DATBE’s request represents a hybrid approach, in which the City would own the HBO and DATBE would produce it—departing from typical City-owned event models.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 5
Key Considerations for Alternative Agreement Structure
If the Council wishes to pursue this new structure, a separate agreement would be required. Key considerations include:
 Financial Oversight: The City would approve event-related revenues and expenses, including entry fees, sponsorships, and prize money, ensuring City records of the revenues and expenses associated with the event.  Sponsorship: The City would review and approve all sponsorships to ensure they are aligned with the core values, mission, and vision of the City. Sponsorship recognition, including naming rights, would also require approval.  Marketing and Merchandise: All materials would be subject to review for compliance with the City’s branding guidelines to emphasize HBO as a City-owned event.
 Competing Events: Terms should address restrictions on DATBE hosting similar events near the HBO timeframe to protect the event’s integrity.  VIP Section: Terms should address restrictions on DATBE hosting similar events near the HBO timeframe to protect the event’s integrity.

Timeline and Staff Capacity
Given the September 2025 event date, staff does not recommend pursuing this alternative agreement model for 2025 due to:
 The extensive negotiation required;
 Required review by the Parks, Recreation, and Community Resources Advisory Commission and City Council; and
 Staff workloads managing peak-season permitted events (Memorial Day–Labor Day) and planning of City-owned events, including:
o Surfers Walk of Fame Weekend (April),
o National Parks and Recreation Month partnership with LA Galaxy (July), and
o Hermosa Beach Concert Series (September).

Fee Waiver Context
DATBE cited the need for fee waivers as a reason for requesting a City-owned event model. During LTA negotiations, DATBE requested a waiver of indirect costs, which was not granted. Historically, such waivers are reserved for nonprofit or long-standing community events.

Table 1 includes the event dates and the anticipated payable fees to the City annually per the LTA.

Per the City’s current contract with the Chamber of Commerce, indirect costs are waived for major events like Fiesta Hermosa and the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, while direct costs (e.g., staffing, permits, inspections) are the Chamber’s responsibility.

General Information + Frequently Asked Questions
When is a Special Event Permit required?

Special events are evaluated based on several factors and will be categorized as Impact Level I, II, or III based on the information provided in the Special Events Application. Once the information is submitted and reviewed by the Community Resources Department, City staff will determine the Impact Level of the event using the Impact Characteristics Matrix.

The Impact Level of the event will be used to determine:
• the deadline for Special Event Application submittal; and • the level of review for approval (City staff, Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Advisory Commission, and City Council).

Impact Characteristics Matrix
If more than one option is applicable, the highest characteristic will be used to determine the impact level.

Filming or Still Photo Permit
A Film/Still Photo Permit is required for any event recording or photographing activities resulting in commercial use. Information about professional filming permits may be obtained on the City’s website.

Emergency Action Plan
It is the event producer’s responsibility to have a comprehensive emergency action plan to the City that proposes the steps to be taken for crisis situations, such as event shut down due to severe weather, fire, active hostile attack, or for a missing person, medical emergency or threat of violence.

This exact verbiage is required. Event producer shall notify the City at least thirty (30) days prior to the termination, reduction, cancellation, suspension, modification, or expiration of the policy.

If a general aggregate limit applies, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to this Agreement, or the general aggregate limit shall be twice the required occurrence limit. The City reserves the right to request greater or lesser amounts of insurance coverage.

If the use includes athletic activities, shall provide evidence of that the commercial general liability insurance includes coverage for injuries to athletic participants and participant accident insurance.

If the Event producer maintains broader coverage and/or higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be entitled to the broader coverage and/or the higher limits maintained. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.

Event Day Expectations
In order to immediately address any issues or changes that may arise during the course of an event, producers are responsible for:
• Providing contact information for an event representative that City staff may reach at any time during the event.

REVIEW OF DAY AT THE BEACH EVENTS’

REQUEST FOR A NEW AGREEMENT FOR
THE HERMOSA BEACH OPEN IN 2025
THROUGH 2027

BACKGROUND
February 2025 City Council approved a Long-term
Agreement (LTA) with Day at the Beach Events (DATBE) for the Hermosa Beach Open in 2025-2027
DATBE has since requested the City own the event while
DATBE serves as the event producer.

March 2025 A future agenda item was requested to
outline the difference between an LTA and the proposed
City-ownership model

DISCUSSION
LTA Overview:
• Provides up to 3 years of approval,
allowing event producers to hold its
event on public property
• Event producer controls event
planning, staffing, marketing, and
sponsorships
• City’s role: ensuring permit
requirements are met to ensure
safety and operational compliance

DISCUSSION
City-owned Event Overview:
• City controls the event format,
staffing, marketing, and
sponsorships
• Examples: Surfers Walk of Fame,
Hermosa Beach Concert Series,
Veterans Day Ceremony, and Sand
Snowman Contest.

DISCUSSION
Key Considerations for Alternative Agreement Structure
City review and approval of the following:
• Financial – Expenditures and Revenues
• Sponsorship(s)
• Marketing and Merchandise
• VIP Section
Additionally, a ‘Competing Events’ Clause
should be considered

DISCUSSION
• DATBE cited the need for fee waivers as a reason for requesting a City-owned event model, specifically indirect costs (Estimated at $19,500 annually) • Through an LTA, such waivers are reserved for nonprofit or long-standing community events (subject to a Pier Plaza Use Fee)
• Outside of an LTA, such waivers have been provided to the Chamber of Commerce for its events on public property in return for the City serving as a top-tier sponsor.

Meeting Date Description
March 25, 2025 City Council continued review of the Commission’s recommendation to its next meeting to allow the
Subcommittee an opportunity to meet an additional time to further review its recommendation.

Discussion:

The Subcommittee met on April 1, 2025, and revised its report (Attachment 1) and recommendation regarding the renaming of the Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail from Pier Avenue to 8th Street. The Subcommittee maintained its initial recommendation regarding the renaming of the South Park accessible playground.

Renaming of the Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail
The Subcommittee recommends City Council adopt a resolution (Attachment 2) renaming the Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail to the Greenbelt Accessible Trail to further convey how this specific portion of the Greenbelt is inclusive, providing equal access for all its users.

Additionally, the Subcommittee recommends installing a bench on the Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail dedicated to the Access Hermosa Working Group and in memoriam of accessibility advocates associated with the group, Geoff Hirsch and Casey Rohrer.

In 2016, per the direction of the City Council, the City Manager created the Access Hermosa Working Group to advise and support the City in improving ADA accessibility throughout the City. Hermosa Beach residents Geoff Hirsch and Beth Rohrer, mother of Casey Rohrer, served on the Access Hermosa Working Group. Through the Access Hermosa Working Group, Geoff actively pushed for accessibility improvements, particularly along the Greenbelt. Casey Rohrer, born with cerebral palsy, was wheelchairbound. He was a strong supporter of the Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail project and worked alongside his mother as part of the Access Hermosa Working Group.

If approved, the bench would be placed on the east side of the trail on an existing concrete pad, allowing ADA seating next to the bench. The plaque would read:

Greenbelt Accessible Trail, Pier Avenue to 8th Street
Dedicated to the Access Hermosa Working Group &
In Memoriam of Geoff Hirsch and Casey Rohrer
Should Council approve the Commission’s recommendation, the City would coordinate a celebration for the renaming of the Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail in May or June 2025, date to be determined, when it is anticipated that additional landscaping surrounding the trail would be established.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 7
Renaming of the South Park Accessible Playground
The Commission recommends City Council approve the Subcommittee's recommendation to adopt a resolution (Attachment 3) to rename the South Park accessible playground in honor of Casey Rohrer.

Rohrer and his mother were instrumental in advocating for the 2016 renovation of South Park, which introduced accessible play features. Rohrer wished for a park that was accessible to all children. He was not only an inspiration for the project but was also involved in designing the universally accessible playground.

Additionally, the Commission recommends City Council approve the Subcommittee’s recommendation to install a commemorative plaque on an existing bench overlooking the accessible playground to acknowledge the naming. Installation would occur following the completion of CIP 603 South Park Slope, Irrigation, and Landscape Improvements in July 2025, which includes a concrete pad under the existing bench that would allow ADA seating next to the bench.

The plaque would include the proposed name of the facility, “The Casey Rohrer Accessible Playground,” and the following text providing information on the name of the facility.

The Casey Rohrer Accessible Playground
Named in honor of Hermosa Beach resident, Casey Rohrer, who wished for a park all children could enjoy and served as an inspiration for the 2016 renovation that provided the accessible playground.

Following this text would be a quote by Rohrer given at the 2016 South Park Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to celebrate the park’s renovation: “This playground is great because all kids can play together now.”
Should City Council approve the Commission’s recommendation, the City would coordinate a celebration for the renaming of the South Park accessible playground in August 2025, following the anticipated completion date of CIP 603 South Park Slope, Irrigation, and Landscape Improvements.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: April 1, 2025
TO: Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Advisory Commission (Commission) and Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Commissioners Ellman and Horowitz, Councilmember Detoy and Mayor Pro Team Saemann
SUBJECT: Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail and South Park Accessible Playground Renaming Subcommittee (Subcommittee)
The joint Commission and City Council sub-committee met on November 6, 2024 to consider renaming of the Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail in honor of accessibility advocates. At its January 14, 2025 meeting, Council approved expanding the Subcommittee’s scope to consider renaming the accessible playground at South Park in honor of Casey Rohrer. The Subcommittee met again on February 5, 2025 and April 1, 2025 to discuss the renaming of both facilities. In accordance with the Municipal Naming, Monument, and Sponsorship and Policy Guide, the Subcommittee provides the following detailed analysis and recommendations regarding the renaming of each facility.

Proposed Renaming for the Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail
The Subcommittee recommends City Council adopt a resolution renaming the Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail to the Greenbelt Accessible Trail to further convey how this specific portion of the Greenbelt is inclusive, providing equal access for all its users.

Proposed Bench for the Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail
The Subcommittee recommends installing a bench on the Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail dedicated to the Access Hermosa Working Group and in memoriam of accessibility advocates associated with the group, Geoff Hirsch and Casey Rohrer.

In 2016, per the direction of the City Council, the City Manager created the Access Hermosa Working Group to advise and support the City in improving ADA accessibility throughout the City.

Geoff Hirsch served the Hermosa Beach community in many ways. He was a member of Leadership Hermosa Beach, the Pacific Coast Highway and Aviation Improvement Committee, and the South Bay Bicycle Coalition. He served as a coach for Hermosa Beach Little League and as a Parks, Recreation, and Community Resources Advisory Commissioner. As a result of a stroke, Geoff began using a wheelchair and devoted his time advocating for the beach cities to become more accessible for all. Geoff served as a leading voice and member of the City’s Access Hermosa Working Group, which was created to advise and support the City in improving ADA accessibility throughout the City.

Improving accessibility to the Greenbelt was one of the group’s top goals and was one of the top projects Geoff advocated for.

Casey Rohrer was born with cerebral palsy and used a wheelchair. Cerebral Palsy also impacted Casey’s voice. When Casey was in second grade, he received a machine that enabled him to talk. Casey used his voice to serve as an activist for people with disabilities and to bring awareness of their experiences and the importance of equal access for all through speeches locally and across the country. In addition, Casey strongly supported his mother Beth’s work on the Access Hermosa Working Group and the group’s advocacy to improve accessibility to the Greenbelt.

If approved, the City would install the bench on the east side of the trail with the plaque reading:

Greenbelt Accessible Trail, Pier Avenue to 8th Street
Dedicated to the Access Hermosa Working Group &
In Memoriam of Geoff Hirsch and Casey Rohrer
The location of the bench is indicated in the picture below.

Proposed Honoree for the South Park Accessible Playground Casey Rohrer wished for a park that was accessible to all children. Casey’s mother, Beth served alongside a group of volunteers advocating for the renovation of South Park. Casey was involved in designing a universally accessible playground that would ultimately be part of the renovation completed in 2017. During the South Park Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to celebrate the park’s renovation, Casey shared “(..) this playground is great because all kids can play together now.”
Proposed Renaming of the South Park Accessible Playground The City would install a plaque on an existing bench overlooking the accessible playground that would read, “The Casey Rohrer Accessible Playground is named in honor of Hermosa Beach resident Casey Rohrer who wished for a park that was accessible to all children and served as an inspiration for the 2016 renovation that provided the accessible playground.” Following the description would be a quote by Casey provided at the South Park Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to celebrate the park’s renovation, “This playground is great because all kids can play together now.”
The bench is shown in the picture below and sits east of the accessible playground.

Estimated Costs
2 x Plaque = $700 ($350 per plaque)
1 x Bench = $1,800
Shipping = $500
Tax = $250
Labor for crew to install bench and plaques: $1,600
Concrete pad on Greenbelt (built) = $1,320
Concrete pad at South Park (to be built) = $1,680
Total Cost = $7,850

In assessing this honor, the City Council will take into consideration the recommendations from different bodies such as the applicable City Commission(s) or local interest groups.

City-owned land, buildings and facilities may be named after individuals or families who have donated the land or funds for a capital project, particularly if such Naming is set forth as a condition of the Donation. Additionally, the City Council may approve the Naming of city-owned land, buildings or facilities based on an organization or individual’s monetary contribution to the city for that purpose. The funds from that contribution may be used for any purpose deemed appropriate by the City Council unless there is a specified use as a condition of

5 the contribution. The duration of the name is on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the City Council unless otherwise set forth as a condition of the contribution approved by the Council.

The names of city-owned land, buildings and facilities shall not normally be named in honor of individuals when they have previously been named for another individual. However, if the Council deems it appropriate, they may vary from the guideline on a case-by-case basis.

When appropriate, parks, trails and facilities can be named after predominant geographical or physical features of the land. These may include natural features or man-made features. Different sections of public facilities and outdoor space may carry names that differ from that of the overall park or facility. This may include the Naming of individual items in a park or facility such as a meeting room.

However, the guidelines outlined in this guide shall still apply in the selection and adoption of the name.

Review Procedure
Consideration of requests for the Naming of public facilities and outdoor space will include the following:

1. Submittal Request. Letter requests for Naming of City-owned land, buildings and facilities shall be filed with the City Clerk. Letters shall include clear justification for the request including qualifying information, as outlined below.

2. Sub-committee Review. Upon review by the City Manager and if the request warrants further investigation, it will be presented to the City Council to consider designating a sub-committee consisting of two (2) City Council Members to provide a detailed analysis and recommendation. The Council may also direct any applicable Commission to also create a subcommittee to further assist in the review.

3. Sub-committee(s) Recommendation. The sub-committee(s) will present their recommendations to the applicable body followed by the City Council for a formal review. If the Sub-committee recommends approval, it will also provide a written statement to be preserved as to who the individual is/was and why the naming is taking place.

6 4. City Council Review. The City Council will make its determination as to the Naming or Renaming of City-owned land, buildings, and facilities at regularly scheduled meetings. The decision of the City Council will be final. a. In the case the request is denied by the Council, no further action is taken.
b. If the request is approved, staff will begin implementing the Naming of the public facility or outdoor space through execution of a formal agreement.

Qualifying Names and Criteria
The review and selection of names will follow an extensive and exhaustive review of several factors. The following will be considered as part of this review:
• Geographical location of the facility or outdoor space including descriptive names.
• An outstanding feature of the area (i.e. hill, vegetation). • Commonly recognized subjects of historical significance such as an event, person, group, culture, or place.
• A person or group who significantly contributed to the acquisition or development of the park/facility.
• An individual who provided an exceptional service in the interest of the park system as a whole or for the community as a whole. • A person whose contribution or significant Gift is of a most extraordinary nature.
• Parks and facilities that are donated to the city can be named by deed restriction by the Donor.

Additionally, Naming may be considered based on the provision of significant Funding that underwrites the cost of renovation or construction of city property.

Financial underwriting shall be broadly defined as substantial monetary contributions that enable the City to acquire, maintain, and/or improve City Assets. This may include monetary Gifts and/or grants that leverage federal, state and local Funding for such projects or complete Donation of land.

Renaming
The intent of Naming a public facility or outdoor space is intended for permanent recognition. Therefore, the Renaming of parks and facilities is strongly discouraged. Requests for the Renaming or removal of the name of an already named public facility or outdoor space will be subject to the most careful examination so as not to diminish the original justification for the name or discount the value of the prior contributors. Notwithstanding the preceding language, and

7 unless restricted by an agreement with a Donor, City Council has complete discretion to remove a name or rename a property
MONUMENTS, STATUES + PUBLIC ART
Purpose
To establish formal policies as a guide to the City
Council in considering the placement of a
Monument, Statue or public art on city-owned
land including city facilities and outdoor spaces;
whether and under what circumstances a
desired location would be best suited for the
placement of a Statue, Monument and/or
public art in honor of an individual or family; and
the duration of this placement of a Statue,
Monument and/or public art.

Memorial park benches are not included as part of this policy. These are administered by the Public Works Department and should be contacted directly for further details. The Community Development Department oversees placement of Monuments, Statues and public art on private property.

Guiding Principles
In considering proposals for the placement of a Monument, Statue or public art on city-owned land including City facilities and outdoor spaces, the city will evaluate whether the Monument or public art piece:
• Engenders a strong positive image consistent with the city’s goals and values;

8 • Have historical, cultural, or social significance for future generations; • Commemorate places, people, or events that are of continued importance to the city, community, region, state, or nation; • Have symbolic value that transcends its ordinary meaning or use and enhances the character and identity of the City Asset;
• The location of the Monument, Statue or public art piece is significant in some measurable way to the individual or image depicted; • The individual or image depicted in the art piece have recognizable geographic, topographic, or historical significance associated with Hermosa Beach. In assessing this type of name, the City Council will take into consideration the recommendations from different bodies such as the Planning Commission or the Hermosa Beach Historical Society. • Have broad public support; and
• Not result in the excessive commercialization of the City Asset.

Guidelines
The City Council will consider placement of Statues, Monuments or public art whether submitted by City Council members, city staff, city agencies, Civic Organizations, or by members of the community.

Placement of a Statue, Monument or public art should have recognizable geographic, topographic, or historical significance associated with Hermosa Beach. In assessing this placement location, the City Council will take into consideration the recommendations from different bodies such as the applicable City Commission(s) or local interest groups. Placement may be in honor of persons who have served the nation, the State of California and/or the City of Hermosa Beach in an exceptional and distinguished manner; and where such action is warranted by a contribution or service which is deemed to be of major significance.

Placement of a Statue, Monument or public art in honor of a deceased person shall generally not take place until after a minimum of one-year waiting period unless the City Council determines that there are overriding considerations deviating from this policy guideline. This policy guideline is not intended in any way to reflect on the merits of any deceased individual who may have been a prominent civic leader. However, it is felt appropriate to establish some type of waiting period to ensure that an individual’s accomplishments or contributions will stand the test of time; and that a decision shall not be made on an emotional basis immediately following a person’s death.

9 A Statue and/or Monument may be named after individuals or families who have donated the land or funds for the capital project, particularly if such Naming is set forth as a condition of the Donation. The City Council may approve the placement of a Statue and/or Monument based on an organization or individual’s monetary contribution to the city for that purpose. The funds from that contribution may be used for any purpose deemed appropriate by the City Council unless there is a specified use as a condition of the contribution. The duration of the name is on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the City Council unless otherwise set forth as a condition of the contribution approved by the Council.

Review Procedure
Consideration of requests for the placement of a Monument, Statue or public art on city-owned land including city facilities and outdoor spaces will include the following:

1. Submittal of Request. Letter requests for Naming of City-owned land, buildings and facilities shall be filed with the City Clerk. Letters shall include clear justification for the request including qualifying information, as outlined below.

2. Sub-committee Review. Upon review by the City Manager and if the request warrants further investigation, it will be presented to the City Council to consider designating a sub-committee consisting of two (2) City Council Members to provide a detailed analysis and recommendation.

Signage
Donor or Naming acknowledgement is permitted but must be approved by the City Council prior to installation. This approval will include review of the size, subject matter, overall sign design, materials, location and placement. Signage shall comply with the Sign Ordinance (HBMC 17.50) and adhere to the City’s official logo and branding guidelines. Additionally, the following criteria must also be followed:
• Any physical form of recognition shall not interfere with visitor use or routine operations.
• The form of any on-site recognition shall:
o Be of appropriate size and color within the design scheme of the facility, Monument, Statue or public art piece;
o Not dominate the sign in terms of scale or color; and o Not detract from surroundings or any interpretive messages.

The use of corporate logos and insignias on recognition signs will be considered by the City Council for formal approval prior to installation.
